A tank is filled at a constant rate. 10 minutes after filling is started, the tank contains 4.8L of water. After 35 minutes the

tank contains 7.3L of water.
a. Find the rate at which the tank is being filled?

b. Find the initial volume of fluid in the tank and express it as a function in terms of V and t.

Answer:

Part A)

0.1 liters per minute.

Part B)

There was initially 3.8 liters of water.

\displaystyle V(t) = 0.1(t - 10) + 4.8

Part C)

562 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

A tank is filled at a constant rate. After 10 minutes, the tank contains 4.8 L of water and after 35 minutes, the tank contains 7.3 L of water.

Part A)

We can represent the current data with two points: (10, 4.8) and (35, 7.3). The <em>x-</em>coordinate is measured in minutes since the tank began to be filled and the <em>y-</em>coordinate is measured in how full the tank is in liters.

To find the rate at which the tank is being filled, find the slope between the two points:

\displaystyle m = \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} = \frac{(7.3)-(4.8)}{(35)-(10)} = \frac{2.5}{25} = 0.1

In other words, the rate at which the tank is being filled is 0.1 liters per minute.

Part B)

To find the function of the volume of the tank, we can use the point-slope form to first find its equation:

\displaystyle y - y_1 = m( x - x_1)

Where <em>m</em> is the slope/rate of change and (<em>x</em>₁, <em>y</em>₁) is a point.

We will substitute 0.1 for <em>m</em> and let (10, 4.8) be the point. Hence:

\displaystyle y - (4.8) = 0.1(x - 10)

Simplify:

\displaystyle y = 0.1(x-10) + 4.8

Since <em>y</em> represent how full the tank is and <em>x</em> represent the time in minutes since the tank began to be filled, we can substitute <em>y</em> for V(t) and <em>x</em> for <em>t</em>. Thus, our function is:

<em />\displaystyle V(t) = 0.1(t - 10) + 4.8<em />

<em />

The initial volume is when <em>t</em> = 0. Evaluate:

\displaystyle V(0) = 0.1 ((0) - 10) + 4.8 = 3.8

There was initially 3.8 liters of water.

Part C)

To find how long it will take for the tank to be completely filled given its maximum capacity of 60 liters, we can let V(t) = 60 and solve for <em>t</em>. Hence:

60 = 0.1(t - 10) + 4.8

Subtract:

55.2 = 0.1(t - 10)

Divide:

552 = t - 10

Add. Therefore:

t = 562\text{ minutes}

It will take 562 minutes for the tank to be completely filled.

A) Write 600 as the product of prime factors.<br> Give your answer in index form.
dlinn [17]

Answer:

3 × 5 × 5 × 2 × 2 × 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Make a factor tree.

But let me explain the above to prove it's correct.

3 × 5 = 15

15 × 5 = 75

75 × 2 = 150

150 × 2 = 300

300 × 2 = 600

Therefore 600 as a product of prime factors is: <u>3 × 5 × 5 × 2 × 2 × 2</u>

What is the slope of the line shown?
Anarel [89]

Hello!

\large\boxed{Slope = -\frac{1}{2}}

Use the slope formula along with provided points to solve for the slope.

We can use the points (-4, -1) and (0, -3) and plug these values into the equation:

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

m = \frac{-3-(-1)}{0-(-4)} \\\\m = \frac{-2}{4} \\\\m = -\frac{1}{2}

Jason has already used 4/12 cans of paint while painting furniture. He is painting chairs which each use 10/6 cans of paint.
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

Based off of the calculations I did, I got 32 as the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jason uses 10/6 of the paint for each chair he paints and according to the question, there are 19 chairs.

So we multiply these two numbers to get the amount of paint used after painting all 19 chairs.

10/6 * 19 = 31.666...

Then we add the previous amount Jason used for painting the furniture to the total amount of paint used after painting the 19 chairs.

31.666... + 4/12 = 32.

Thus, Jason used 32 cans of paint in total.
